What do they mean, if they can they'll make it an interesting game?  If they get Georgia to 3rd down consistently, they'll win by three scores

I think this game is easily the kind where the team with more rushing yards wins.

you could make a great case that no one was more hot the last 4 weeks of the season than Michigan after they went on the road and beat Penn State in a tough conference road game- Happy Valley is never an easy place to play, then steamrolled Maryland by like 40+ on the road, then physically man-handled Ohio State at home, and then annihilated Iowa by almost 40 in the B1G CCG. That is the kind of momentum that you want at the end of the season- you want your team to get hot at the end of the year.

But....that 27 day delay from the B1G CCG to the playoff game- might cause you to lose some of that great momentum and lose some of that "heat". That's a looooong lay off.

Since 2017, UGA has been favored by 6+ in 53 Games...

with a record of 49-4.
2018 LSU: -4 turnover margin
2018 Texas: -2 turnover margin
2019 South Carolina: -4 turnover margin
2021 Bama: -2 turnover margin
*2020 UF was also a -2 in TO margin, but UGA was only favored by 2.5
If UGA is 0 to +2 in TO margin each of the next 2 games, even Stetson might be able to pull it off. Might just need to pray for some DB butter fingers.

49-5 is still a good record

Not if the rest of the country is above 95%.....you need something to compare it to.

Damn, I just thought of a fix to this crazy, newfangled bowl season, with opt-outs and injuries and covid and what-not!!!  

There's only 5 or 6 non-playoff bowls.

There.  Done.
I'm kidding!!!

Okay, so there's only 5-6 non-playoff bowls.  Why?  You'll see in a second.

We take each conference's non-playoff schools' draft-eligible players with a 3rd-round grade or worse and make an all-star team out of them.  And that's the team.  It can have all-americans on it if they're young enough. 

It'll be a great team.  And they'll have all that extra practice time to mesh together as a cohesive unit.  No opt-outs, injuries become irrelevant, and we get quality football.
The B1G's best vs the PAC's best, and so on down the line.  Each conference produces a team and that's why there's only 5-6 bowls.  


BRILLIANT!!!

I'm still mystified by the spread on this game.  I'd call it even myself.  I suppose the bettors think the UGA D will show up, and maybe they will.

I keep noting most games that are competitive hinge on turnovers, which are largely unpredictable.  UGA had two bad ones with Bama, without those, or with two in return, it would have had a very different score.
